Quantumscape Corp (QS) Finansal

QuantumScape Corp. engages in developing next-generation solid-state lithium-metal batteries. The company is headquartered in San Jose, California and currently employs 700 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2020-08-17. The Company’s solid-state lithium-metal battery technology is designed to offer energy density, faster charging, and enhanced safety. Its battery cells have none of the host materials used in conventional anodes. The firm's cells are anode-free in that they are manufactured without anodes in a discharged state. The company has demonstrated a solid-state separator for lithium-metal batteries capable of resisting dendrite formation at higher power densities, such as those required for automotive applications and fast charging, for at least 800 cycles at around 25 degrees Celsius. The firm's solid-state electrolyte-separator is a dense, entirely inorganic ceramic. The firm's solid-state battery technology has applicability in other markets, including stationary storage and consumer electronics, such as smartphones and wearables, among others.
